web services for text search, retrieval and other operations

Dear everybody,

The Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen, are about to provide public access to various APIs and web services to our data. These are components that we use internally in applications but which we hope could useful for students and scholars alike.

Also we hope that they could seen as contributions to the discussions on what kind web services that APIs are useful within digital humanities and literary computing.

Here is a description of what we tend to call our snippet server

I'll later extend this document to cover the related search service.

If anyone has input on this, and opinions on what else we could do to make our text sources useful, we'd love a mail.

Thanks in advance

Sigfrid
